BARRINGTON — Town Democrats elected new officers for two years at their monthly meeting Wednesday night, March 13, at the Barrington Public Library.

Duane Kimball was re-elected town chair, Sheila Marquette was elected town vice chair, and Holly Grossman was re-elected treasurer. No secretary was named. In addition to officers, the caucus elected three delegates-at-large to the Democratic State Convention on June 1. They are Denise Hart, Pat Gringrich, and Karolina Bodner.

“We have just returned to the majority in the state legislature,” said Kimball, “and there is much work to be done to restore our fiscal structure and governmental civility. Our newly elected representatives, Dennis Malloy, Roger Menear, and Ken Grossman — along with Sen. David Watters — are working tirelessly to these ends. Despite long days in Concord, all four were here this evening for the caucus, a tribute to their commitment.”

“Gov. Hassen has put forth a budget to restore fiscal integrity to the state,” Kimball continued. “It does so while helping to rebuild our crumbling bridges, restoring our education system, and helping those who cannot help themselves. Our revenue options are limited, but she is doing a courageous job. We salute her efforts and are all working together to help bring this about.”

The meeting also established ad hoc fundraising and venue committees to build future growth for the Barrington Democrats. “We have a vibrant committee in town and expansion is in our sites,” Kimball concluded. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 17. Any Barrington Democrat wishing to participate is encouraged to come to this meeting and visit their website at www.barringtondems.org.
